(The World Cup starts tomorrow. I'm still debating whether to take tomorrow off or the day after~~~ Thanks to the two readers who each tipped 10,000 earlier. I'll make it up to you with an extra chapter over the weekend~)
Xiao Ran's battle plan was not particularly complicated. First, the Warship would descend to Earth. Then, units equipped with the Mirage System would approach the Rhodea Research Institute for reconnaissance and a surprise attack. The other units would cooperate to completely eliminate all armed forces around the institute. Finally, the Landing Force would storm into the institute and wipe out every enemy within.
But Xiao Ran still had quite a few problems before him. First, there was a high chance that the warship's descent to Earth would be detected. Although N-Jammers had already been deployed in many areas across Earth, this was not something that could be concealed simply by relying on N-Jammers.
Second, in order to save the children in the institute, personnel from the Apocalypse would have to enter the facility itself, greatly increasing the risks to the Apocalypse's members during this operation. The troublesome part was that this operation could only use the Apocalypse's own combat strength, with no support from either ZAFT or Orb. In that case, their number of soldiers would not be much of an advantage.
It was hard to say whether the Landing Force could storm into the institute and complete the mission perfectly. Once the soldiers entered and urban combat began, there would be many situations that could not be guaranteed. Besides, in Xiao Ran's eyes, the Apocalypse's meager strength could not be called combat strength at all.
Because the true objective of this operation was to rescue the children in the institute, rather than simply bombard the place until it collapsed
